Agree on all, except the loan. He needs to learn it here, because he is going to get games in the Cup competitions and he needs to actually experience the speed required.I agree, look at the difference between McAtee and O'Reilly. McAtee looks like he's been playing at this level for a while he's quick in the mind and feet his loan spells definitely did him wonders. He's also strong and is very used to the pace of the game.
Pep needs to tell him he needs to play TWO TOUCH unless an extra touch is absolutely necessary. His first touch needs improvement, too. Dzeko-esque at times! ;-)
He’s the right profile for a decent midfielder and if he doesn’t get it here, he’ll make us $25M in the transfer market, no problem!
